The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the city is expected to approve spending $30,000 to purchase five VAMPIRE™ Forensic Tactical Devices for its police force. The devices, manufactured by Booz Allen Hamilton, feature the durable Sherlock Appendix F mobile ID fingerprint sensor from Integrated Biometrics.

The handheld devices, slightly larger than a smartphone, allow police to conduct fingerprint analysis and search for a match quickly at the scene of a crime.
